Me again 🙂 As said previously here I’ve been able to create an ICC profile with DispcalGUI long time ago. I’m trying to “refresh” my screen profile by creating a new ICC. All my attempts with a ColorMunki gives me an ICC which gave a very strong yellow/brown color cast. I understand that a screen is by default too “blue” and that a profile gives a more yellow/brown rendering. Indeed my old profile is quite more yellow/brown than the standard screen. But the new profile I’ve created is two or three step more yellow/brown. I thought that this was due to the ColorMunki, so I tried with my Spyder3… same results and I have tried different blank-point 6500 and 5500. Different quality for the profile. At the moment I think I have created something like 6 profiles. Am I missing something? Could this be due to some parameters? A bug?

  1. It seems the display in question has a very cool white natively (> 9000K), or the Spyder3 is not able to read the white correctly due to its filters (not uncommon) – in this case, you could use your ColorMunki Photo to create a colorimeter correction for the Spyder. Or you could calibrate to native whitepoint (“As measured”) instead.
